If you are looking for peace and want to wind down in nature, Wolfsburg’s central forest is just what you need. Located not far from the city centre, it offers many opportunities for walking, hiking, cycling or jogging over an area of around 950 hectares. A special feature are the numerous fountains and (drinking water) springs that provide refreshment along the route and can be discovered on a hiking tour. Part of the forest, the Hasselbach Valley also offers an impressive backdrop where you can explore the “Three Stones”, a sand formation that is around 170 million years old. But it’s not only the city forest and the Allerpark that make Wolfsburg one of Germany’s greenest cities: in and around Wolfsburg, many other green spaces and nature reserves invite you to experience nature and forget about everyday life – for example, the 1,500-hectare Barnbruch wetland in the Aller glacial valley.
